Description

Recently, we deployed a new kudu cluster and every node has 12 SSD. Then, we created a big table and loaded data to it through flink.  We noticed that the util of one SSD which is used to store WAL is 100% but others are free. So, we suggest to spread WAL across multiple data directories.
